Re: Airbase issues at Nellis in AF

The airbase I was thinking of is called "GEN AFB" in the LODEditor list and it is CT#1409 (OCD ID # 1509)in the database. Based on your picture the airport model I was thinking of is not the one you are seeing the problem with. Yours is OCD ID#225 which I believe is CT#125 in LODEditor. Sorry for th...

Re: Airbase issues at Nellis in AF

Check in the .cam file for which airport objective #/name was used for that particular airport location . If it was the "Gen Airport" (or named "Gen" something) then that is the problem. AF can't use that model because it isn't a finished (complete) model for an airbase. It needs to have another air...

Re: Crop an existing theater/map?

You can't account/correct for the distortion induced in the re-projection of the coordinate system so your previously aligned terrain tiles will have increasing offsets (deltas) from your objectives as you move outward from the center of the new 64x64 size theater. Or so that is what I've seen.
